| A | B |
|---|
| polar molecule | molecule - slightly positive & slightly negative, electrons shared unequally |
| solute | substance being dissolved |
| solvent | substance in which another is dissolved |
| alloy | mixture of elements with metalic properties |
| solution | homogeneous mixture remains constantly and uniformly mixed, particles microscopic |
| concentration | amount of solute dissoled amount of solution |
| solubility | maximum solute dissolved in given amount of solution at certain temperature |
| saturated solution | solution containing all of solute at given temperature |
| unsaturated solution | solution that can dissolve more solute at given temperature |
| supersaturated solution | contains more solute than saturated solution, unstable |
| ion | charged particle with greater or fewer electrons than protons |
| electrolytes | compounds that produce solutions of ions in water |
| nonelectrolyte | substance do not form ions in water, do not conduct electricity |
| ionation | process - molecular compounds dissolve in water & form charged particles |
| dissociation | process -- positive & negative ions of ionic solic mix with solvent to form solution |
